After a heart attack in 2012, a coronary angiography revealed that I had impaired patency of 2 vessels. Doctors prescribed coronary artery bypass surgery, but getting free surgery was not easy. A quota was needed, but to get it, you have to queue - some wait several years.
Fortunately, my daughter learned that the South Korean clinic "Inha" was running a "Believe in the Dream" campaign. As part of the campaign, you could get not only free treatment but also tickets to Korea for the patient and a companion.
We took this opportunity. As soon as we arrived at the hospital, I underwent a complete examination. It showed that I didn't necessarily have to undergo the dangerous bypass surgery - a more modern method, stenting, could be used. It went quickly and without complications, so I was discharged soon after, given recommendations for further treatment and medication for a month.
Like many other Russian patients, I was amazed by the level of service and the friendliness of the doctors.
